In Response To: Jeez, that armour is urrrgly (mattroe)


: I didn't mind it in the trailer but I guess it was all moving around too fast
: for me to really notice anything. Negative attitudes towards new designs
: usually annoy me, but... jeez. Bungie's Mark VI design was iconic from the
: get-go. This is just... no. Oh God no.

Yeah, I think it completely ruins the silhouette of the armor, and the entire design is a massive departure from the previous ones. Not to even speak of the rubbery bulge instead of a metal codpiece - that borders on bad taste. The Mark V and VI were obviously very different, but the core design still had some similarities, such as similar placement of armor plating and shape of the shoulder pauldrons. Not to mention the fact there was a proper canon reason for the change back then - here, I just can't see that happening.

Luckily, they said they'll be changing the design, but just how much, remains to be seen. Since they're using this one in their marketing, assigned a gameplay purpose for the clips, and even commissioned the real suit based on the design, it's hard to see them changing it that much anymore.
